Real Madrid has made an official approach to sign Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold, but their offer has been rejected by the Reds.
According to reports, Real Madrid’s offer was worth around £20 million, but Liverpool is unwilling to let go of their star right-back, especially in the middle of the season.
This development comes as no surprise, given Alexander-Arnold’s importance to Liverpool’s title ambitions.
The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, and Real Madrid is keen to sign him on a free transfer.
However, Liverpool is determined to keep him and has not given up on convincing him to sign a new deal.
Alexander-Arnold is now free to hold formal talks with Real Madrid, but it’s unclear whether this will change the dynamics of the situation.
What is certain, however, is that Real Madrid will continue to pursue Alexander-Arnold aggressively, which could create an awkward situation for Liverpool.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Alexander-Arnold’s future, Liverpool remains focused on their title charge.
The team’s professionalism and strong relationships with manager Arne Slot should help them navigate this challenging situation.
